Anything worth trying out besides the Apple A1243 Aluminum keyboard?

Thanks

You might find this thread relevant.

Anyway, I think Lenovo "laptop" keyboards are the only ones with sculpted keycaps AFAIK. I don't think I've used the current external thinkpad keyboard though, only an internal one and it wore out quite fast.

LOL, Im only a few $100 in and Im not going for custom key caps or anything like that.

I guess Ill just give the Apple a try.  Both my lappy's Asus 1215b netbook & Lenovo Y580 gaming laptop have chiclets.

Best Ive all Ive learned quite a bit about my likes and dislikes with regards to keyboards, shapes, sizes, lighting, and switch types.

The Apple Aluminum Keyboard sucks.

People also say that the Razer Lycosa is a great keyboard.
